It looks like the feds are fed up with Apple refusing to decrypt the infamous iPhone belonging to the San Bernardino shooters. Here's what the Department of Justice had to say earlier today:
By Apple’s own reckoning, the corporation—which grosses billions of dollars a year—would need to set aside as few as six of its 100,000 employees for perhaps as little as two weeks. This burden, which is not unreasonable, is the direct result of Apple’s deliberate marketing decision to engineer its products so that the government cannot search them, even without a warrant. Apple deliberately raised technological barriers that now stand between a lawful warrant and an iPhone containing evidence related to the terrorist mass murder of 14 Americans
